1. well go into a sportsman class at your track if they have one.
2. take your time on the track, and try to be smooth on the trigger and drive only where you can handle it without crashing.
3. try not to be a hacker if possible
4. hit the jumps at a speed where you can just clear them.
5. if you race on a dusty track, change your filters to new ones after each heat and main.
6. and have fun.

a hacker is somebody who, crashs other drivers like for instance somebody who doesnt use the brakes before they get into the corner and t- bones your car spining your car out. so if you do that dont expect to have many racer friends lol
i used to be a hacker, when i raced onroad and evently i relexed more and learned how to drive better.

Get around the track without crashing! That's the key right there for all new racers. Its allot harder than you think because you really need to have self control to keep the car slow enough to not crash! Even if you have to roll all the jumps for your first few races, do so. What you want to do is consistently get around the track EVERY lap without having to be marshalled. Once you can do that for an entire race, then go out and practice and find areas that you can go faster without crashing like straight away's and burms, and areas that are not difficult. Work on getting around the track 2-3 seconds faster every 2-3 weeks without crashing and eventually you will be great

i would say usually its a noob, mistake i wouldnt say its meanness i mean sometimes if somebody pushes me out of the way into , the corner than i will get them something back its only fair lol . but i wouldnt remmend you do that though.
most of time that doesnt, happen in the 1/8 class but if anything it would happen more in truggy espially in a sportman class.

why would it happen more in truggy rather than buggy?

yea theres usally only a couple, of them guys in a truggy class stick with the buggy it will make you, a better driver because they are harder to drive.
i started out in buggy last year and, i think it improved my driving not sure lol.
but truggys are easier to drive, and you can drive the hell out of them.
i like truggys better since, you can drive them harder and its similar to a buggy just wider and has bigger tires.
